John and Linda Sohus told friends they wanted to move out. They had been married a little over a year and talked about leaving the house they shared with John's mother in San Marino.

It was a story Dorothy Atwood DeBolt enjoyed telling, one that any harried parent of young children might find somewhat familiar. The phone rang one day as the busy mother raced around her home, getting ready for an out-of-town trip and wrapping up housework before her kids got home.
